Wizards 113 (21-29), Cavs 116 (11-41)
In true tank fashion, Cleveland nearly blew a 25-point lead over the final 6:58 minutes of the game. Washington had a chance to tie the game on the final possession, but Troy Brown Jr ended up having his shot blocked by Cedi Osman.
Osman, who’s been on a tear recently, had one of his better statistical games this season, finishing with 26 points (on 16 shots), 5 boards and 7 dimes.
Bucks 115 (36-13), Pistons 105 (21-28)
Milwaukee built a 21-point lead with 6:17 left in the game and couldn’t be caught the rest of the way.
Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with a team-high 21 points with 8 boards, 11 assists and 3 steals.
Thunder 126 (32-18), Magic 117 (20-31)
It was a roller coaster second half for OKC, who completely blew a 15-point lead in the third quarter only to outscore Orlando by 12 in the fourth.
Paul George scored 31 of his game-high 37 points in the first half en route to a +16 plus/minus. Russell Westbrook recorded his 17th triple-double of the season with 23 points, 14 assists and 14 boards.
OKC has now won six straight. The Magic have dropped four in a row.

Pelicans 121 (23-28), Rockets 116 (29-21)
No Anthony Davis, Nikola Mirotic, Julius Randle, Elfrid Payton, E’Twaun Moore… no problem?
The Pelicans got just their eighth road win of the season with just one healthy starter on the court.
Jrue Holiday led the way with 19 points, 8 dimes, 6 boards and a career-high 6 blocks.

The Spurs needed a last-second shot from Rudy Gay to top the Suns 126-124. Maybe it’s because they were facing an 11-42 team, but Pop felt like his Spurs did not put forth their best effort. He ripped his team after the game, saying they were “outplayed, outcoached” by the Suns, who got robbed.

Popovich reaction... said #Spurs didn’t deserve to win this game had no respect for their opponent ... and #Suns got robbed
Kyrie Irving is said to be “genuinely interested” in the possibility of teaming up with LeBron James in Los Angeles.
Per Bleacher Report:
A source close to the Celtics confirmed that Kyrie Irving is genuinely interested in reuniting with his former Cavaliers teammate. “That is for real,” the source said.
A core of James, Davis and Irving would be enough to get visions of Title 17 dancing in Lakers fans’ heads.
But talk of adding Irving to the mix is where this all gets tangled. The Celtics are also interested in Davis, league sources said, but the collective bargaining agreement prevents them from dealing for a second player signed under the “Rose rule” extension before the summer; Irving, acquired from Cleveland in August 2017, was their first.
